Question

The face of a triangular-shaped guitar has a base of 8 inches and a height of 13 inches. What isthe area of the guitar’s face?

Answer 1

Area of a triangle can be calculated as:

Area = 0.5 x Base x Height

Area is given to be 52 in²

Height is 13 inches.

We are to find the base b of the triangular shaped guitar.

Using the values in above formula, we get:

52 = 0.4 (13) (b)

b = 52/0.5 (13)

b=8

Thus the base of triangular shaped guitar will be 8 inches.

Answer 2

The Triangle Area Formula -:

A = 1/2 x b x h (You might also seen it as A =1/2bh)

*Variables Replaced*

A = 1/2 x 8 x 13

*Answer Solved*

Answer = 52in²
